Not sure about other branches but went to the Huntingdon one last week for some new tyres and the chap there really knows his stuff.

I've now got some Conti Sport II's on the front and he adjusted the toe at the same time, was way, way out (set up by Lexus too ) - Sorry Tony - bit too far to pop down to you during the week

The new tyres are excellent - I'm just waiting to wear the rears now so i can have one on each corner. They feel so much better than the Potenza's.

Get down there for some advice on tyres if you're anywhere near - cheaper than Krap Fit too.

I never feel offended only concerned.... was it only the toe that was measured and corrected?

I think so - I don't think he looked at the camber, I left the car with him for the day to be honest and went back to work. The car feels a lot better now though. I need to pop down and see you at some point for a finite check.

Wont be this month though - £250 on tyres, £270 on glasses, £200 on a stag weekend this saturday (plus spending money) Need to turn into a hermit for a few months !

With new tyres on the front the car will feel better.... had the the old front tyres worn on the insides.... about 20mm of tread missing?

The only wear was to the outsides, toe was 4deg out over the 2 front wheels (toe in both sides)

I was a bit miffed that they had ot be changed actually as the middle and inner were 100%

Good?..... the comment 'way out' and the wear on the outsides correlates and does not suggest the historic camber issues the IS has.... curious though 4deg is 24mm of toe.... seems strange? have any repairs been done to the car recently.

No not by me. I picked her up from Lexus Cambridge with 20k on the clock nearly 12 months ago and she was only 2 years old then with full history and check. Never been battered (that I know of anyway)
